[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
Perhaps "rooted" in this case meant bootloader-unlocked then? Does your N1 show a padlock icon on the bottom of the first X screen when you boot up? If so, the hard part (and your software warranty) is already done :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaszek:
I know its sim unlocked, ill check for the lock now

EDIT: no padlock, good or bad?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
All Nexus ones are sim unlocked.

As for no padlock, means you bootloader is locked, which is good. meaning you're completely stock.

There are methods of loading custom roms without unlocking bootloader.

Unlock bootloader (you see padlock) means your Nexus One's software warranty is void.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaszek:
I don't worry about voiding warranty, that's the first thing I do with most of my electronics lol
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
In that case, unlocking the bootloader is by far the easiest way to hack this phone :)

Once you've got the android SDK installed on your computer, all it takes is the command "fastboot oem unlock" to get your phone's bootloader unlocked. How much easier could it get? :p
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaszek:
Ok great. I guess ill play around with the phone stock for about a week
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoshHart:
You don't need to unlock the bootloader to root or flash custom roms anymore though so I would suggest using the alternative methods found in the development section and leave your warranty intact. Although most people haven't had a problem replacing their phones with unlocked bootloader there's just no point in risking it anymore because there's no need to do it that way imo.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesRF:
So I'm looking for a Nexus 1 online and I cant seem to find any that will work with 3g for at&t...where has everyone found them at besides google's store?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaszek:
Try craigslist in your local area.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
The only official place is Google.com/phone other than that check eBay and Craigslist.

Google just got their last shipment if Nexus One for sale. So I suggest you buy it from Google. It will be harder to find after they run out.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Yeah Google is the best place to get it. Free overnight shipping no matter what. Had my nexus 21 hours after placing my order. Hurry though, Google just got their last shipment. After that you will have to get it from amazon or similar.

Live wallpaper!!!! Some of you may or may not know but just try it !!! No root no set CPU. Please tell me if you know this or not and If it works

Damn don't have to be asses about it. And if you don't like the post just press the back button you must really have nothing better to do then bash me for no legitimate reason
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
I was using the Grass live wallpaper for the first month, I've since switched to my own photo. I can't say for sure whether there's been a big improvement, but my battery is definitely better at the end of the day than it was before.

op = fail !

i use live wallpapers all the time with no drainage
[EVO 4G General] sfox8:
I use live wallpapers all the time and my battery has been fine. Honestly, I think there was just a batch of bad batteries in early production models, coupled with bad optimization of software. I run the Mario live wallpaper and the Galaxy wallpaper constantly and my battery still last just about as long as if I used a regular photo.

My live sperm wallpaper uses this much | of this much |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| of my battery, daily. I'm so pissed that I've used it for 3 weeks now and I'm considering filling a class-action lawsuit against google, sprint, htc and the sperm themselves over this monumental battery life decrease. Fkin sperm!

Not all here are idiots like the trolls that just posted above, but must say that like yourself, I am getting more than a little disgusted by the posts that are coming from the obvious adolescent and pre adolescent that are making an otherwise informative site look like some random high school (or should I say elementary school) hallway. As for the OP.....you and your comments are more than welcome on XDA and as for your post.....there is evidence to support your theory no matter what the others may say.

[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
Agreed. I don't think the OP is the one who should delete their account. Just read a thread about flaming. That poster should read it!
[EVO 4G General] evev13:
i thought you were going to say that i was the battery culprit cause i didnt do it
[EVO 4G General] kwajr:
Look idiots course if you have something that has moving graphics versus a static pic it uses more juice just look at some of the settings on some lwp it gives you choices check here will usemore juice

And yes there are way to many snobs here Android has only been out what 2/3 years there are going to be a lot of noobs on Android its the only platform showing real growth so if you don't want to help don't post and quit acting like your all gods case you know a little

[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Interesting that this was your first thought. (I went to more of a Christian reference.) Projecting much?

And, yeah, how the heck did this discussion devolve so quickly? Live wallpapers are indeed listed on just about every battery-saving tips list, even if as only a minor contributor. There are bigger things you could do (turn off always-on mobile data, for instance). But to come in and start flaming over this is ridiculous. Just don't waste your (our) time.

[EVO 4G General] halorin:
Man. Times around here on xda sure have changed. I guess as smart phones get more popular, more kinds of people are drawn to the site.

Sorry, OP. Your tip isn't exactly new, or in all cases true, but you don't deserve some of these responses. Don't let his deter you from contributing.
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
Yeah there's other contributors but even with all that done my battery life was crappy and turning off live wallpapers was a big change in battery life to me

What are you reffering to? I didnt see any rude or posts on this topic..

Anyways, to answer the issue at hand, ive used live wall papers since i got my phone and i get really good battery life....there were several major battery issues with the network settings, screen brightness, etc....

Team,

For those of you having trouble finding drivers here are some links.

64bit:

http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml

32bit:

http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml

For Linux and Mac the Android SDK drivers should work fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] Satertek:
The standard Samsung USB driver that PDAnet had listed for the Samsung Moment worked for me as well, will give these new ones a try on my other system.
[Vibrant Android Development] junkdruggler:
thank you

I added a link to this thread in the sticky
[Vibrant Android Development] Pneumatic:
EDIT: Nevermind the n00b question. I was able to get the drivers installed and I am good to go. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] skater4690:
cant get my cpu to recognize my phone after installing drivers... im on windows 7 64 bit any ideas??
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
have the same problem. i'm on 7, 32bit
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
did you enable USB debugging?

Gunnman from Galaxy S
[Vibrant Android Development] jroid:
yes of course. first thing I did after I rooted
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
I'm drunk so bear with me. go into device manager and browse for the driver manually ,include subdir. point to programfiles\samsung.

if that don't work use the 64bit drivers on 32bit windows. don't run setup just browse to the extracted dir from the unknown device in device manager. it worked for me at work. good night

Gunnman from Galaxy S
[Vibrant Android Development] hpz937:
since i had issues w/ the 32bit driver exe, i extracted it and zipped it up incase others have the same issue.

[Vibrant Android Development] designerfx:
this thread should be stickied since W7 doesn't come with the drivers, it seems.
[Vibrant Android Development] Beast84:
How exactly do you update the drivers with win7? It keeps saying my drivers are up to date but I still can't get adb to recognize my vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] Beast84:
Anyone?? I can't get get adb to recognize my device for the life of me
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
Try both 32bit and 64 bit drivers. At work I have 32bit win7 and the 64bit drivers fixed it up. Dont run setup just go through device manager chosse the unknown device and point it to the 64bit driver directory and check include sundirs.
[Vibrant Android Development] rtorbs:
Try using correct drivers for your win version but turn the phone off, connect and then power up while connected....worked fine for me after messing with both lots of drivers first and no luck :D
[Vibrant Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Make sure you select "USB debugging" for ADB to work folks.

thanks for all of your help so far guys.. BUT i still cannot get my laptop to sync up with the phone properly (win xp pro, sp3)...

I've downloaded and installed both drivers and the computer is recognizing the external drives, but they are showing as removable disks E: and F:. when i double click to open, it is telling me to insert a disk? i feel like i'm almost there, but there is somethign i'm missing!

usb is mounted and usb storage is off. usb debugging enabled.

any help would be appreciated.

Windows drivers issue

Have you tried mounting the drives. Same thing happened to me when you have it connected to the computer drop down the usb notification and mount. The your drives should be accessible.
[Vibrant Android Development] ekim213:
i'm not quite certain what you mean by "mounting the drives"... i've mounted the usb through the phone... is there something i should be doing on my computer?

[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Has anyone tried the July 28th USB drivers posted at Samsung yet? It claims to be for the Vibrant but Im not sure if its just the same drivers posted earlier except updated for the Vibrant.

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/d...&prd_mdl_name=SGH-T959&prd_ia_sub_class_cd=P#

Just curious if these are the same as the ones posted in the OP. They seem to be version 1.0, but I think the ones in the OP claim to be something like 1.7? Am I wrong?

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] paulskerr:
thank you drivers worked look for em all day and then i seen your thread thanks a million
[Vibrant Android Development] paulskerr:
dead end on samsung driver page
[Vibrant Android Development] mytmouse:
You need to click the "Software" tab.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
I installed both versions and also let windows install its own version before hand. After that I have found version 5.2.0.2 and 5.2.0.4 on my machine. Not sure now what version the OP linked drivers installed as I didn't think to check before updating to the ones from the Samsung site. I have a feeling the 5.2.0.2 drivers were the ones that Windows 7 downloaded from windows update, but not sure on this.

Nice to see Samsung post drivers for the Vibrant none the less...
[Vibrant Android Development] sfsilicon:
Does this increase the charging current via the USB port to 500mA? Right now my default on Windows 7 64 bit is <100mA.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
can that be tested somehow?
[Vibrant Android Development] zerosource:
I have trouble with "MTP driver". Has anyone encounter this problem?
[Vibrant Android Development] pandahboyz:
I can't install it somehow it keeps saying "installing driver "but it just stop there and say error afterward. Anybody get this ? Also it would be nice if someone can teach us how to use kies
[Vibrant Android Development] MV10:
As far as I know, this type of driver couldn't change that.

The power output on the USB port is a function of the hardware and the USB port's chipset driver -- not the higher-level driver for device-specific communications. The "request" to draw more than 100mA is a strictly electrical thing that is initiated by the plugged-in device.

Are you sure your port supports 500mA? Many USB ports are 100mA only. On my Lenovo laptop two of my ports are low-speed 100mA, and one port on the other side of the machine is high-speed 500mA. I'm running Win7 x64 and haven't had any problems getting 500mA out of the correct port.
[Vibrant Android Development] DKYang:
How do you guys check the USB power output? Btw, google doesn't help. They tell you how much it can output, but not how to test it. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougefresh91:
The driver took over 30 mins to install. I've never seen a driver install so slowly before. Windows is for masochists. But since I can't seem to get sdk working on my Linux machine I have no other choice.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Took only a couple seconds on my Windows machine.

Was that necessary?

At least it DID work on your Windows machine.
[Vibrant Android Development] dex1701:
Don't you know that bashing Windows makes you look cool and in-the-know? :p

For the record I use Debian a lot of the time, but Windows 7 is actually a pretty good OS. Never understood the platform holy wars myself...always just wrote it off as clique mentality.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Well I use Ubuntu (debian based) as my Linux distro especially on my Laptops and Netbooks, but on my main rig I have been very close to windows since the early days of Microsoft. 7 is very close to being an absolute joy of an OS for a MS product, and I hear 8 is going to be absolutely amazing. It just took them a long time to get it right, lol. Microsoft was about being the only one, and Linux was about having choice, nothing more. Funny thing is I dont think they will catch Google with their linux based Android. I dont think anyone will for a very long time. In fact Android might just put everyone else out of biz with regards to Smartphones OS's. lol
[Vibrant Android Development] jamesd86:
thanks, installed the 64 bit version and it worked right away. thanks again.
[Vibrant Android Development] Janis:
It's just so quotable.

(I always thought that stuff you couldn't get to work was for masochists.)
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougefresh91:
I got it working, but I see your point.

However, Ubuntu starts up in about 30 seconds. Literally. Desktop, good to go.

Vista. 5 mins or so until I'm at a working desktop. Oh, but wait, there's updates. OK. Install updates...

5 Minutes later...

You must reset for updates to take affect. Grr.

5 minutes later....

installing updates stage 3 of 3...

5 minutes later...

Back to the desktop. Finally. Updates are ready to be installed. Wait, what?
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Super Simple Solution: Turn off automatic updating.

My Ubuntu machine takes longer than my Windows machine BY FAR. If I had my Windows machine cleaned out today it would take around 20 seconds to get to desktop, but Im being lazy.

Windows booting in less than 30 seconds flat video

Not sure why you have to wait 20 minutes to start working on your windows machine when I can start mine, have to go completely through the entire bios initialization AND also wait for my storage drive to initialize AND still be at a working Windows desktop in 30 seconds flat OR LESS..... Please get real sir, lol....

EDIT: I just tested my Ubuntu and it does get to desktop just a tad faster than my Windows... my bad sorry, lol :o but its surely not no 20 minutes to get a working desktop, at least not here (Im talking about boot up time and nothing more). Both my Windows and Ubuntu are stock so this makes me wonder if both can be even better?
[Vibrant Android Development] ParkerOviedo:
so this driver does work for windows 7 64 bit?
[Vibrant Android Development] NotBillable:
Does anyone know where I can find the drivers for 7 CDCs?

When I go into PhoneUtil and switch the USB from PDA to MODEM, in windows, the new hardware wizard pops up and asks me for drivers for the 7 CDCs???

If anyone has a clue to where I can find that, please let me know.

thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
It did ok here. Now I have to try the 32bit driver for my Netbook and hope it works because I think id prefer to use it for flashing my SGS safely.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougefresh91:
I have auto-updates off, but I usually always install them right away when they're there. And not all of the updates make you reset; I'm exaggerating a bit. However, Vista does startup really slowly. It may not be a completely fair comparison, as Ubuntu is the 64-bit version. They're dual booted on the same machine though, and the difference is night and day.

There's only a few extra programs that auto-start. I monitor my startup like a fanatic and use WinPatrol to prevent anything extra from sneaking in there. The PC is over three years old, so it may just be getting cobwebs. Idk. It's brutal though. I'm thinking about just wiping it and buying Windows 7 64-bit and doing a clean install. I think the computer still has some life in it as it's a 2.4gig Quad Core, 4 GB DDR2, Nvidia 8800 GTX 768MB. Or maybe I should just sell it. I don't know what to do, honestly. My once loved PC has become a PITA to use.

However, I'll always keep a Windows PC around. If you have any advice on how I can improve this machine, I'm all ears. Or should I just sell it, and move on?
[Vibrant Android Development] SkOrPn:
Thats up to you, I personally cant stand slowness so I been building my own systems since about 94 or so and just dont ever remember a slow Windows machine, but like I said I cant stand slow so I have always had premium parts. Its the only way to get the best parts at the cheapest prices and insure a good build. It also helps a lot to realize that SSD's are now here and are perfect for an OS install disk.

KIES sss

Honestly I am going Slightly mad ....

I have W7 Ult. 64bit version, updated, original.

I have attached the KIES version I have, also the latest, and I tested many drivers, the last one I tested were the one at the beginning of this thread.

My phone is on KIES MODE.

So, my drivers are working, adb is detected, dev is detected, kies mode is detected, they all appear in device manager as installed and nothing wrong with them. But 99% of the time, KIES is telling my .. Connecting to the device .. and it hangs there for about 20minutes(after I shut it down in a berseker rampage rage./...).

When I put the phone in media player or storage mode, kies identifies it, but can't do **** about.

My purpose is to update to 2.2 Froyo when it comes to Romania, the good official way (though I have root, lagfix and 3br fix)

A few minute ago I did a thing, I firstly connected my phone on KIES mode to the pc and started KIES afterwards.... KIES recognizes it .. but when I go in Firmware Update it tells me that there's no devices that need upgrade.

Another KIES sh1t ... I go to samsung apps, and although KIES is the final version, it tells me I have to update to the latest version to be able to use apps, It closes, updater starts, nothing is found, KIES restarts, Samsung Apps goes in the nevereinding cycle of faux update all over again.... I also tried like 3 versions of KIES ...

something is rotten here
